Strep Throat And Pregnancy

Strep throat pregnancy is due to what reasons, and during which stage of pregnancy does it take place. Is it something to take into consideration, when it occurs? Does it happen during or before pregnancy? A friend’s wife had it; my aunt claimed she had got it too. They say it is not very harmful, just slight precautions are meant to be taken. Could you please give me a second opinion, as my sister is a couple of days pregnant? She was scared of getting pregnant anyway. She did not think she could carry a child. I want to her understand everything before getting worried. Please explain it to me? I think she needs to know everything about strep throat and pregnancy, right?
